Ingredients
- 1 bag regular pretzel twists (about 30 pieces)
- 1 bag white chocolate melting wafers (approximately 30 wafers)
- 2 bags Spring time M&M’s (various colors)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to its lowest temperature setting to gently melt the white chocolate without overheating.
- Sort M&M’s: Separate the Spring time M&M’s by color into individual bowls for easy access when decorating.
- Arrange Pretzels: Lay out 30 pretzel twists evenly spaced on a cookie sheet to prepare for topping.
- Add White Chocolate: Place one white chocolate melting wafer on top of each pretzel twist to serve as the base for the M&M flower design.
- Melt Chocolate: Put the cookie sheet in the preheated oven for 2-3 minutes. Check every minute until the white chocolate wafer softens and slightly melts, but does not fully liquefy.
- Create Flower Petals: Remove the cookie sheet from the oven. Using 5 M&M’s of one color, arrange them around the edge of each melted chocolate wafer to form flower petals.
- Add Flower Center: Place one M&M of a different color in the center of the petals to complete the flower look.
- Cool and Set: Allow the pretzel bites to cool completely at room temperature so the chocolate hardens and secures the M&M’s in place before serving.
Notes
- Use an oven thermometer if possible to ensure a very low temperature is maintained to avoid burning the chocolate.
- You can substitute white chocolate chips for the melting wafers, but wafers tend to melt more smoothly and evenly.
- Letting the pretzel bites cool fully helps the chocolate to harden firmly, which keeps the M&Ms from falling off.
- This treat can be made ahead and stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- For a festive touch, experiment with different colored M&M’s and arrange the petals in various flower designs.
